Danny O’Donoghue, 45, is an Irish singer-songwriter and frontman of The Script. Formed in Dublin, the band broke through in 2008 with hits including “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Breakeven”, and have since scored six UK No 1 albums. O’Donoghue was also a coach on the first two series of The Voice. In 2023, his close friend and band co-founder Mark Sheehan died aged 46 after a brief illness. He married his long-term partner, Anais, last year.
Here, he looks back at the moments that shaped him, from growing up in a nine-person Dublin household and getting an “Irish Power” tattoo at 18.
